In Baton Rouge, LA, the state education board has approved new biology textbooks to high school students across the state. Complaints were expressed that the old books covered too much information on evolution. This is the first time books in this subject matter have been approved since 2002. Even though the bill has been passed, the public school systems have to decide when they want to order the books. Opponents of the books say that the topic of evolution doesn't encourage critisism or debate. Supporters say that the books were trying to force religious issues.

In my opinion, I think that evolution is controversy between religion. People believe whatever they want to, but I believe what is right. Since the school system bans religion in classrooms, evolution is the only debate against it. I hope the new books are very unbiased. I think religion should be involved in school because it isn't really a broad topic conversed in school.
